PM Gallgaher Company

PM Gallgaher Company works out of 103-105 Collins St in Lynn, owned by Paul Gallagher, and its permit history is unusually concentrated in Nahant. Three of the four sampled jobs are on the island: a $77,000 rear addition with roof and roof deck at 51 Willow Rd in 2009, a $70,000 kitchen renovation at the same house, a strip-and-reshingle at 63 Willow Rd in 2010, and a deck at 23 Greystone Rd in 2013 connecting a front slider through to the existing rear deck. The most recent job is a different animal entirely: a $553,752 commercial renovation in Malden in 2024, rebuilding a second-floor office mezzanine down to ceilings, partitions, metal windows, lighting, HVAC and sprinkler work. Licensing is the thing to settle before anything else. BuildZoom reports a Massachusetts General Contractor licence, #132714, that expired on 03-25-2003 and was confirmed still expired on 07-14-2026, alongside four Home Improvement Contractor registrations — #132714, #105927, #145131 and #183149 — all shown as inactive after being cancelled. A registration that existed and lapsed is a different fact from never having needed one, and for residential work in Massachusetts it matters. Nobody has written publicly about the work, so there is nothing on how the jobs went. If you are considering them for a house, ask directly whether the home improvement contractor registration has been renewed, get the current number, and check it yourself at the state's Consumer Affairs portal before signing or paying a deposit.
